What are the recommended diagnostic and management steps for a patient experiencing recurrent postprandial acid reflux and burning sensations that persist despite strict dietary modifications and return immediately after completing a course of PPIs, given a history of treated H. pylori?

Since your symptoms returned immediately after stopping proton pump inhibitors, this could be due to rebound acid hypersecretion or ongoing inflammation. To guide our next steps, I recommend a simple urea breath test or stool antigen test to confirm the H. pylori infection was fully eradicated. An upper endoscopy is also a highly recommended diagnostic step to evaluate the lining of your esophagus and stomach. In the meantime, your doctor may suggest a gradual medication taper or trying an H2-receptor antagonist, like famotidine, to help manage the burning safely.
